Resource summary
C6: Electrolysis
Ions
In an ionic solid are fixed/can't move
Ionic substance that is molten or in a solution are free to move
What is it?
Is a chemical reation in which ionic liquid is decomposed into its elements using an electric current
Is a flow of charge produced by moving ions and ions are discharged at the electrodes
Ionic substance
Is called ELECTROLYTE
Must be molten as the ions need to be free to move
Positive ions (CATIONS) move to and discharge at negative electrode (CATHODE)
Negative ions (ANIONS) move to and discharge at positive electrode (ANODE)
Electrons
Removed from negative ions
Electrons then flow around the circuit to the negative electrode and are passed to the positive ions
Amount of substance produced:
Determined by the size of the current and the length of time it flows for
Most substance is made if a larger current flows and flows for a longer time
Quantity of electricity (Q) passed in an electrolysis reaction can be calculated using this formula:
Quantity of electricity (Coulombs) (Q) = Current (Amps) (I) x Time (Seconds) (T)
Electrolysis in Copper (II) Sulfate
When electric current passed through CuSO4 solution using copper electrodes:
1) The positive electrode bubbles as oxygen is made and the mass decreases because ions move FROM it
2) The negative electrode becomes plated w/ copper and the mass increases because ions move TO it
3) The electrolyte will become less blue as CuSO4 decomposes
Aqueous Solutions
When undergoes electrolysis, it's often easier to decompose the water to decompose the compound it's dissolved in
Tests
For hydrogen gas: lighted splint causes a 'POP'
For oxygen gas: a glowing splint is re-lit
